Big Deal, It’s Friday

I say this only because I’m working tomorrow. :/

Lynsley and I have been very thankful for the reviews and recs we’re getting for ‘Games with Me‘.   We know volume two will be just as kick-ass, and now that I’m see eManga doing so well with fans, I’m thinking of releasing Roulette through them also.  Once Laura is finished with it of course…

Today is Friday – Whore of Turfan updates tonight!!!

Cut for boring bank stuff:

What’s HER Problem??!

I’m actively avoiding the whole Harlequin Horizons discussion now – mainly because some Harlequin-friendly bloggers have suddenly gone ‘full retard’ when it comes to distinguishing the difference between Vanity Publishing and Self-Publishing.

Sorry – this isn’t Field Day in Elementary School.  Not everyone gets a trophy just for participating.

Don’t say you’re doing writer’s a favor by selling your ‘brand’ coupled with services NOT INTENDED for real writers.

• Writing is work.

• Publishing yourself on your own dime, with your own brand, for your own fans – is work.

• Submitting to, and being accepted by, a legitimate publisher – is work.

Paying Harlequin Horizons to publish you with their logo on the spine of your book

• - is Paying to Play.

Play is not Work.
That’s really all that needs to be said.
